Design Scissors Chroma – Stainless Steel · 21.6 cm | Craighill
Huygens designs silent wall clocks in Amsterdam. Named after the Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens, who invented the pendulum clock in the 17th century, the brand combines Dutch design tradition with modern minimalism. At Charles & Marie, we carry the Tone Index, One Arabic Dome, Wood Arabic, and Wood Index models.
Who is Huygens?
Huygens was founded in Amsterdam and creates wall clocks reduced to the essentials: a clear dial, precise hands, and a silent quartz movement. Each clock is designed to make time visible without acoustically disturbing the room.
